Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. I love my life, my hubs, my job's alright.....hell, we're in NorCal. Of course I love the weather. And all the wine. It will be a good year, I was just upset at myself for not allowing more time to work on apps. I'm very overqualified for my current job, so since I missed that deadline, I've had some very positive conversations with the new Dean about expanding my responsibilities, which will happen this week. So, now I don't feel like the year is professionally "wasted" as it was in my despair a few weeks ago. And I was overly dramatic in using that word!
What other schools have deadlines in January?
